The XR is the most comfortable 150cc motorbike
The Honda XR 150cc is a dual-sport designed to be both on the road and off the road! Within the 150cc category, it is the most comfortable motorbike for one or two riders. It is small compared to the western world of motorbikes. However, this dual-sport motorbike is a big vehicle for Vietnam, and it will attract attention from the locals.
Adventure driving on the Honda XR 150
Vietnam is mostly tarmac roads, but often at times the terrain can turn into gravel and mud tracks. The XR is light enough to tackle any terrain, and there is no situation where you would be caught off guard.
The Honda XR is unsupported by Honda
The XR 150cc falls into the range of “unsupported” motorbikes within Vietnamese mechanics. This means that Honda does not officially service the motorbike or stock the parts. Tigit has these motorbikes on a mass scale, and we have the parts. However, on occasion, we may need to send a part to your location. Simple things like inner-tubes are not stocked throughout Vietnamese mechanics, which means drivers must add them to their luggage load.
Adventure seekers vs New drivers on the Honda XR
Without the babysitting of Honda Service centers at Tigits/Clients disposal, small problems can lead to big problems with inexperienced riders. Overall this is an incredibly reliable and easy motorbike to operate. However, it does not have the same ease of use as the locally supported motorbikes such as the Honda Winner 150cc.
Tires Tigit uses on the Honda XR
The Honda XR 150L is equipped with dual-sport tires. We consider them 80% road with 20% offroad.
The Honda XR 150cc Rack
The Honda XR rack can support an 82L Enduristan bag without the extension rack. The extension rack is strapped down with bungees and adds an additional platform. Bags can be mounted sideways or lengthways. Overall for the size of the motorbike, there is a huge amount of space for luggage.
Hi there,
Me and my wife are looking to hire a Honda XR 150cc bike for 30 days to ride down to Ho Chi Minh. She will be a passenger on the bike and I am a rider with experience.
We will have with us 2x 60Litre bags, these bags will not be full. Will these two bags fit onto the extension rack or is there a way we can carry them on the bike?
Many thanks,
James
Hello,
I am a larger gentleman, weighing 275lbs(125kg). Will this bike be sufficient or should I go larger?
Thank you
Yes it will still take you across Vietnam!
Hi Jon,
I have booked a Honda XR150 for next March, and i was wondering if, apart from the phone holder, it also had a Usb to charge the phone?
Hello, we don’t provide USB charger on the bike. But if you like we can bring your own and we will install it for you.
Hi there,
How much is the cost per day if I rent for 2+ weeks? When I hit the book now button and look up the cost, it isn’t very clear. Additionally, could you send me cost breakdown for other comparable bikes as I look to decide the best option for me? I’m looking to do HCM to Hanoi in April over the course of 15-20 days. Is it possible?

If you put in your start / finish location and dates it will give you a complete quote.
FAQ says “If the motorbike is stolen, the customer owes the value of the motorbike which is stated on each contract. “, which is okay. Just to plan my expenses: what is the average worth of the XR 150’s you are renting out?
Thanks in advance!
$2000.
Don’t get it stolen 🙂
